Summary

Westwood Charter Elementary is a K–5 school in Los Angeles, serving 670 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–26 results were well above state and district results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The key qualification for families is that strong statewide results do not make Westwood a local leader in every subject.

Math is Westwood’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while science is its weakest: Westwood ranked fifth of 10 nearby schools in math, seventh in ELA, and eighth in science. Its scores were 83% in math, 79% in ELA, and 64% in science—about 12, 7, and 1 percentage points above the respective nearby-school averages. Westwood also exceeded state results by 45 points in math, 30 in ELA, and 28 in science, and district results by 43, 31, and 32 points. Fifth grade is a particular area to watch: Westwood ranked eighth of 10 nearby schools in fifth-grade ELA, with 73% proficiency, and seventh of 10 in math. Nearby-school placements and averages are based on the nine schools with current subject results.

Over four reported years, ELA was essentially unchanged at 79%, math rose 6 points to 83%, and science fell 5 points to 64%; science’s advantage over the state narrowed by 11 points. SchoolDigger rated Westwood at the 95th statewide percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26, though it ranked seventh of 10 nearby schools with current ratings. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–26, down from 9% in 2021–22 and below both the state’s 18% and the district’s 23%. Context includes a 2024–25 student-teacher ratio of 23.9 and a 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate of 20%; these are descriptive measures, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Westwood serves Asian students rose from the 70th percentile in 2023–24 to the 98th in 2025–26; its ranking for multi-racial students rose from the 55th percentile in 2024–25 to the 93rd in 2025–26.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, September 29, 2019

Work is a competition among parents, not a learning experience for the children. Teachers are non-responsive and refuse to listen to parental input. Kids socially bully and the bullying is written off by administration... Don't tell me it's not bullying! I'm an AMFT who work in schools and does seminars on the different types of bullying!!!!
When the school feels that you or your child don't fit into their cookie cutter idea of what people "should" be, they will make your life miserable, "anonymously " report you to government officials, expect you to sign papers that have not been filled out, try to pigeonhole your kid into diagnoses are FAR from reality... and, more than that, they expect you to THANK them for the opportunity to do unnecessary assessments!!! It's good that my husband and I were too smart, too educated and love our child TOO much to give into the nonsense! Close Quote
